fsetpos
Sets the stream-position indicator.
Syntax
int fsetpos(
FILE *stream,
const fpos_t *pos
);
Parameters
stream
Pointer to FILE structure.
pos
Position-indicator storage.
Return value
If successful, fsetpos returns 0. On failure, the function returns a nonzero value and sets errno to one of the following manifest constants (defined in ERRNO.H): EBADF, which means the file isn't accessible or the object that stream points to isn't a valid file structure; or EINVAL, which means an invalid value for stream or pos was passed. If an invalid parameter is passed in, these functions invoke the invalid parameter handler, as described in Parameter validation.
For more information about return codes, see errno, _doserrno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.
Remarks
The fsetpos function sets the file-position indicator for stream to the value of pos, which is obtained in a prior call to fgetpos against stream. The function clears the end-of-file indicator and undoes any effects of ungetc on stream. After a call to fsetpos, the next operation on stream may be either input or output.
By default, this function's global state is scoped to the application. To change this behavior, see Global state in the CRT.
